Lace up your sneakers and leash up your furry friends! The Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC) invites animal lovers of all ages to participate in the 2026 VCA Walk for the Animals on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park in Fort Lauderdale.
This beloved annual event brings together thousands of community members for a morning of fun, connection, and wagging tails—all to support homeless pets. This year’s goal is to raise $535,000 to help provide shelter, medical care, and second chances for animals in need.
Participants may walk as individuals or form a “Pack” (team) with family, friends, or coworkers. Walkers can also enjoy an optional one-mile walk, with or without their dog, along A1A, offering magnificent views of Fort Lauderdale’s beautiful beaches.
“We are thrilled to welcome the community back for another incredible Walk for the Animals,” said Walk Co-Chair Carey Morgan. Co-Chair Michelle Watson added, “Every step taken and every dollar raised directly supports lifesaving care for thousands of homeless pets each year.”
The event features music, entertainment, vendor booths, and plenty of fun. Whether you’re honoring a beloved pet or simply enjoying the camaraderie of fellow animal lovers, you can make a meaningful impact.
Join us for an unforgettable day and help make a lasting impact for animals in need across Broward County.
